When you watch a class “online” you watch/play the video without needing to download a file to your computer/device to play it. It’s like YouTube, and it’s often times referred to as “streaming”. With streaming, there is no file to download, just a continuous stream of data, allowing you to start watching the video without waiting for the entire file to download. Streaming video requires a connection to the Internet for the duration of your viewing session, whereas a downloaded file does not require internet connectivity.
